Hey Product Hunt! I’m Louis, an indie builder who created AudioPen (almost) by accident. I was just playing around, learning how to use OpenAI’s APIs. In the process, I built a barebones version of AudioPen as a tiny tool on my personal website. It was one among 3 other tiny tools I’d built that week. To my surprise (and luck), people seemed to really like AudioPen. So I decided to build it as a standalone tool. And damn – that was a good decision. In about 6 weeks since its launch, AudioPen has grown to become my most successful product yet. To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. --------- AudioPen is super simple to use. You don’t even have to log in to try it. 🎙️Just hit record. 🗣️Then start talking. ✍🏽AudioPen will listen to you ramble, and rewrite your words in clearly summarized text. It’ll cut out the ‘ummms’, the ‘you knows’, and the ‘likes’ (I’m guilty of this one). It’ll remove unnecessarily repeated chunks of text. And it’ll give you a neatly written note that you can use however you like. A journal entry, a message, a tweet, an email, or even a blog post. Whatever you want. With AudioPen, you can write content that reflects the quality of your thoughts, not your proficiency with words. Whether you’re a lawyer, a writer, a speaker, or a thinker – AudioPen can help you structure your messy thoughts in a fraction of the time. And that’s just the free version. --------- AudioPen Prime comes with a bunch of extra benefits. 🖋️Customize the style of your notes🖋️ Get AudioPen to rewrite your words in the style of your favorite writer. For instance, you can ask it to write in the style of Paul Graham (my personal favorite), JK Rowling, or even Shakespeare (and if you really want to have fun, you could ask it to rewrite your words as a poem!) 📄Capture more (or less) detail in your notes📄 Change the length of the notes AudioPen writes for you. Capture more detail by asking for longer, more complex notes, or keep things super concise with short summaries. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷🇮🇹Write in multiple languages🇩🇰🇵🇹🇭🇷 AudioPen understands most major languages, and with AudioPen Prime, you can get it to write in a different language as well. Perfect if you want to translate something, or even if you just want to speak and write in your native tongue. ⚡Export your notes via Zapier⚡ Automatically export your notes to 5000+ apps with AudioPen’s Zapier integration (more integrations coming soon). This lets you add these notes to your primary database of notes (for example in Notion). .. there are a few more benefits as well, and I’m adding new ones each week, but this list is enough for now. ----------- Anyway, if you do try the product, I’d love to hear what you think. And if you decide to upgrade to AudioPen Prime, you can use the code PRODUCTHUNT to get 20% off. It’s valid on both – the annual pass and the lifetime deal (for the first 200 people who use it). Thank you for making it to the end of this rather long post. I appreciate your perseverance. See you in the comments section! Louis --------- PS: Thank you, @chrismessina for hunting AudioPen. I’ll do my best to make you proud! PPS: I’m going to attempt to stay awake for as long as I can so I can respond to each one of you in real-time. Comments, questions, feedback, reviews, and good vibes are all welcome. Cheers!

Holy shit. This is really, really good, @louispereira23 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 What a weird moment for me this morning: I was literally spending 1h searching for a way to transcribe audio to text easily, so I can create content and blog posts while walking. Just at that moment, PH sent me a mail notifying me about your product. Long-term feature request: Chrome extension with a loom-like hovering button, so I can use this to comment, write emails, write WhatsApp replies, etc. - on any page, effortlessly.

Than you Rick. Serendipity at its beautiful best :) Also, I'll have the Chrome extension ready soon!
